Great creations so far! I will for sure play the game. I have a feeling that this is the one that will bring me back to the MMO genre!

so is the game any good?

Fuck yes.

Put about 100+ Hours in the KR Open Beta, breeding horses, trading stuff, fishing, and catching wild mares.

Sorry, but I don't think I'll be sharing them. I worked pretty hard on it and I wouldn't want others using them online.

That's fuck up as all hell. The chances of you even meeting them is low enough, and the chance of you even caring is even lower. You're using the default hair style even, I mean it looks nice, but it's not an overly complicated design.


If anyone wants any of my characters from the last page, I'd gladly oblige. Also, if you have a request, I can try to cook something up for anyone who needs it.

All the more reason to share.

Let's say you spent your whole life inventing something like a lightbulb, and you decide not to share it because you don't wan't 'everyone' to have lightbulbs when it took you so long.

If only for allowing others a base to build from. When I play Blade and Soul, I want to be a summoner, but the characters all look like lolis, so I found someone who managed to make a mature-ish looking Lyn, and shared their settings so that other, like-minded people could enjoy the fruits of their labor.

What if I want to make an Arab looking character, and I can't seem to get some things right? Now I either have to devote more time to figuring it out needlessly, or just quit. All because you want to share the burden rather than the results.

(This is hypothetically if you were to not share your config.)

I'm neutral in this lol, just saying I get where he's coming from. Besides, it's an MMO avatar, representation of yourself (in a way obviously), not a household necessity.

I have my own reasons. It isn't an overly complicated design, and because of that one could say it shouldn't be too hard to make one similar to it.

The hairstyle is not default actually, I shaped it just as I did everything else.

It's not seeing someone else with it that bothers me, it's that this is what I made for myself, and it seems odd to me personally to just give that to someone when I made it for my own personal use.

Your comment "fuck up as all hell" seems unnecessary. I'm not going to stay here and argue with you about me not wanting to upload a digital character file.

What most people usually want from your character file is a base from which they can branch off.

I say "Fucked up as all hell" because, if you were to say, "No, I don't wish to share it", I'd not agree with it, but mentioning that you "Worked pretty hard on it" as if that was the reason, that makes absolutely no sense to me.

As stated earlier, if I learn how to make something, and it was difficult, sharing it would not generally affect me in any negative way, but it would positively affect others.


Not really trying to argue, it's just late and I like to type shit when I'm sleepy.

Mikedown wins.. Flawless Victory!

Haha.. well this looks amazing but the whole time I am reading this thread I just keep thinking "This game is going to be a fucking mess visually". Ugh is anyone else OCD like me and seriously concerned that on a scale from WRPG - KPOP - UGGO BEAST - WTF the world of black dessert is going to be a nightmare?

EDIT*

Someone please make Ygritte, best Ygritte wins 10 internets.

Here's what I came up with after about 30 mins. This is a really cool creator, I dig it. Dunno if I'll actually play the game though.

Three and a half hours lmao, jesus. Tried to make an Arab looking Witch - really fucking hard with that particular class since all the face presets look heeeella Asian. Gonna try and snatch Leila or Zeina as my name when the game is out.

Are the teeth really offputting for anyone else? I don't know whether that's solely due to the lighting in the CC screen, but being that blinding and completely white really detracts from any naturalism that otherwise might be there - pretty much every character I've seen looks so much worse when their mouth is open.
 
I ended up with this after my first bit of playing around. It's pretty hard to copy a real person, imho, but I like this anyway

This level of character creation needs to become a new minimum standard in absolutely everything and most should even improve on it.

I'm gonna give it a go, maybe later today. Seems like a fun challenge.

How's this?

The most difficult thing is the bone structure IMO.

Not bad! I wish it was possible to get a darker brown on the irises.

And yeah, getting the cheeks right was hard. The face is really round by default and it's hard to stretch it without making it look weird. I'll take a side profile screenshot of mine in a bit.

Any modelers or people who just like to make characters wanna do a request from me?

What you got for me? Working on Ygrid from Game of Thrones atm.

EDIT:::

Ygrid from GoT

You can't have blush AND freckles, cause wtf?

Her lips are thin, and Korea doesn't like that one bit.

Remember, if anyone want's the files, let me know.

ok yeah here's mine for comparison:



How'd you get your eye color to look like that? I have no idea how that whole menu works hahaha

Here's a copy of the character, so you can look at it if you'd like.
It's kind of hard to explain, but I'll try.

Keep the Iris, the left tab, black, and put it at somewhere around 60-80% opacity. Higher if the color is brighter.

The middle tab should be the underlying color you want if you're going for a mix, or just the main color if you want something simple. For brown, I used the darkest brown possible, which isn't dark at all, lol.

Make sure you put the 'Area' bar all the way up. Then put the 'Opacity' to around 60-90, depending on taste.

For the outer ring, or the right tab, when I want darker, I make this part black. 'Opacity' is around 70-90, and I use more noisy patterns for darker browns.

The trick I use is to use lower levels of color, mixed with dark outer rings, giving the impression of a "Deeper" color.


There's similarity to how I color eyes, and how I color hair, as well. It's not a simple matter of choosing a color, as it is in most other games.

Thanks dude! :)

Someone should make a GAF thread when it's out - I'm considering pre-ordering the $50 version but I'm waiting on my homies to see if they're down too. If I can't squad it up there's no point.

Hey, any time. I know that package comes with 7-day passes, so that's how you could get them hooked. I have 3 passes, so let me know if you need one. I got the $100 package, cause that's about how much I frivolously spent on the Korean one, haha. Figured since it came with everything I knew I was going to get anyways, as well as some Daum coins/pearls, it was worth it. But I know I'll play the hell out of the game.

Oh wow, I really appreciate that man! :) Not much point for me to use a single code tho, I wanna play at the very least with my best friend just to see how I like it. I got hella bored playing FF XIV without skyping at the same time lol.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Even the most generic characters in this look amazing. If only face type wasn't restricted by class.

Nice submissions here!

Here's my character, and her transformations from the Korean Open Beta a while back.

Eyyyyyyy

It turned out pretty good, imo.

The lips are so hard to get right, though. Tried the same position as in the picture you provided, but it was messing up and her teeth turned black when she smiled for some reason, haha. I settled for a slightly less intense position. Let me know what you think!

Here's the file
